I feel sorry for the woman shooter (rutter) who missed out on the gold through judging errors.

We'[d still be waiting for the verdict in the clay pigeon shooting or whatever they call it. :crossed:

That was truly outrageous, wasn't it. Especially as the broadcasters were flashing replays around the world, proving her right, while she was still complaining.

Can’t believe our Skeet shooter was denied that clear and obvious hit yesterdat but I’m sure before she started she would have taken the Silver. Well done Amber Rutter

A hard earned Silver there for GB in the team Triathlon
Tough muddas

Edit: Now placed third and bronze medals. Still a great achievement but why not wait for a photo finish to be scrutinised first rather than announce GB as second place straight away allowing them to celebrate.

The whole Olympics has been brilliant and the Discovery + App is superb.
I have probably consumed about 8 hours of coverage a day!

Unfortunately thr next one is in LA so time differences will not be ideal

Very impressive run by Adeleke for Ireland in the 400m. She shuts down a good 50m+ from the line and still wins comfortably.

Superb stuff from GB women team sprint
Three world records broken and the Gold medal

Got a good feeling about our cyclists this time, can see our medal tally getting a great boost in the velodrome
